Oh "Deer"!!
Our poor little Hyundai, or commonly referred to as the "clown car". This has been the most reliable car we have ever had. It is going on 10 yrs. old and very reliable. But in November it had a little accident; the very first one! A deer decided to jump in its path. Unfortunately for the deer, the "clown car" won. Lucky for Tom, the deer hit him. I'm sure it could have been a lot worse, but Tom was o.k. We are counting our blessings! Had he hit the deer head on...who knows what the out come would have been; especially since the "clown car" is so small.
As you can see, it was a sad day for the deer. He left part of his skin in the passengers door. Although the deer caused over 3k in damages to our "little clown car", the repairs have been made and reliability has set back in.
When the kids found out that the deer died, they were very upset at Tom. We had to explain to them that it was not Dad's fault, and that he did not try to kill the deer. It took them a while to get over the fact that the deer had died. Although it is very sad that the poor little deer died, we are very thankful that Tom is o.k.

Glad to hear Tom survived the deer attack!
Sorry to hear about the car-deer accident. Happy Tom was safe and the car survived. I remember hitting my first and only animal. It was a skunk. It was sad. It was late at night, and I kept picturing a hardworking skunk on his way home from staying late at the office. I thought about his skunky wife waiting for his return after a long day. I was sad that I intervened in their reunion. I still feel badly about it.
